The service from PCNZ has been excellent.
Their systems have streamlined the smoke alarm checking process reducing workload for Property Managers and Administrators while ensuring that the landlords property is fully compliant and protected.
We find that our tenants are also very happy with the communication from PCNZ.

We appreciate the great service and communication you and your company provides .
The anecdote we discussed about the owner who called the tenants yearly and had them push the alarm button thinking that was all that was required was perhaps indicative of the financial pressure some are under, she had no idea that the alarm had expired years previously.

We switched to PCNZ in late 2024, and we are only sorry we didn’t do it sooner. There are integrations that work with our systems, which make processing the invoices and compliance statements a breeze. Reminders are set up on their end, so we don’t have to keep track of when each property is due. They even organise checks for a new tenancy as soon as a new tenant profile is made. With a support system that runs 24/7, our tenants and owners have peace of mind knowing that their properties are safe. The organisation for each property is handled promptly, and the only effort we have to put in is getting keys ready.

We recently transitioned to Property Compliance New Zealand (PCNZ), and I have to say, the process was incredibly smooth and easy. One of the standout features is how seamlessly it syncs with Property Tree, making managing properties and compliance tasks so much more efficient.
I would highly recommend Property Compliance New Zealand to anyone looking for a professional, streamlined compliance solution.

Switching to PCNZ was one of the best decisions we’ve made. The system is incredibly user-friendly and integrates seamlessly with Palace. Every team member we’ve worked with has been fantastic, and the whole process is smooth and efficient thanks to the systems in place. It’s made a noticeable difference, with less complaints from tenants and staff! It’s all so simple—just a click of a button.
